Google Goggles App

I started developing this Google Goggles port for Blackberry a while ago and it's now at a beta stage.

The BBgoggles application has exactly the same features in principle as the Google Goggles Application for iOS/Android as it uses the same the protocol to send data to and from the servers which interpret the images.

Therefore you can take an image of an object/book/barcode/landmark/peice of text etc. and the application will return links to a google webpage containing information about that item.

It would be helpful and probably get more attention if you would say what the program does, what issues you're seeing and maybe a bit of your road map. Many people will not download something to their device without a good reason.

Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

Here are some example screenshots of the application in action:

I developed the application after I recently switched phones to a Blackberry and realised that the Google Goggles Application was not available on this platform. The elements of the application which send images and receive the response are fully functional but I am having issues with design of the UI. I would be grateful if there are any other developers who would be interested in working on this area of the project and testers who would be able to evaluate the user interface on other models. The application is designed for JRE6.0+ but this is primarily due to user interface components and there is no reason why it could not be made compatible with previous JREs.
